Team Growth

• Develop 1:1s and coaching relationships to grow performance and responsibility.
• Build a scalable hiring pipeline—job descriptions, interview rubrics, and candidate evaluations—to maintain a high bar.

Note:sschave * How you execute is more valuable than code commits—owning outcomes, not output.

The Hard Truths

This role demands tough choices and self-discipline:

• Impact without direct code contributions – Separate your leadership value from the volume of code shipped.
• Distilled metrics from noise – Small-team metrics hide unknowns; you must interpret data ruthlessly.
• Holdited with integrity – Raise voice when needed and remove process friction you reinforce the team’s machine.
• Make hard calls easily – Be decisive, even when unpopular, and communicate the reasoning clearly.

If you crave a mundane title with minimal repercussions, this position is not for you.

Who You Are

✔ Proven delivery mastery – Examples needed: retroactives that improved outcomes, process redesigns, or incident command examples. ✔ Engineering credibility – Trust among your team stems from your ability to speak tech intelligently. ✔ Metrics as support, not punishment – Use data to enable teams, not to rank people. ✔ Stays composed in crisis – Turn incidents into lessons with clear resolution plans. ✔ Economical spotlight – Your decisions must land well in writing; meetings should augment, not replace, progress.

Selection Criteria

All applicants must submit:

• A written case study showcasing either:
  • Execution of a retrospective or process improvement
  • Incident response RCAs
  • Alternative prioritised team project or actionable feedback—anything with a before/after.

We’re particularly looking for:

• Proven track record in small-to-medium engineering teams where you incentivised efficiency and impact.
• Direct incident escalation experience, especially bridges between programmers, SLAs, and escalations.
• Insert himself in hiring and bar-setting—post-application refinement metrics are critical.

What We Look For In Applications

An ideal submission will include:

• Demonstrations of automation“ optimisations that expanded processes (metrics used, the impact).
• Integrated examples of decisions based on data (with key learnings).
• Real stories of lessons learnt in managing a team reflecting caution, adjustments, or successes.
